Betterton Beach
This 5 acre landscaped, family oriented waterfront park is
the largest of two public beaches in the county on the Chesapeake
Bay. (The other is in Rock Hall). The exceptional sandy beach
has 300 feet of frontage for swimming and 700 feet of shoreline
access.
It is equipped with a bathhouse with public restrooms and
500 feet of boardwalk, with benches, lighting and handicap
access. |
| A picnic pavilion is located on a bayview bluff. There
is a fishing jetty with a surface walk, a public pier and
improved parking areas. Boating is available from a public
landing and pier.The park is located near the mouth of the Sassafras River
at the northwest part of the county, where fresh water currents
lower the salinity of the upper Chesapeake and free Betterton's
waters of sea nettles, which in late June or July often interrupt
swimming lower down in the Bay. |

Ferry Park Rock Hall’s small swimming beach and gazebo, known locally as Ferry Park, is located on Beach Road. With picnic tables, barbecue stands, and pavilions, it offers outstanding views from the Chesapeake Bay to the western shore and allows one to experience some of the best sunsets imaginable. |
